U2 Songs of Innocence - Thank You

I'm pretty sure Apple paid U2 for the distribution of the album. The way I see it is it's a gift from Apple and U2 probably made more from Apple than if they relied solely on album sales. Of course, U2 is pretty much the only band that could pull something like this off.

Of course they did. To the tune of $100M. For a little various perspective, see here.

Very cool indeed! i like it, I also think wager that the Edge was running FW 16.

I'm just now listening to it and so far so good. I'll say this about albums that don't just knock your socks off, many times the songs grow on you and they end up becoming favorites. For me that was exactly the way Led Zep Zoso was for me.

Yeah, you nailed it. It taking a while to sink in is usually the mark of their better songs, e.g. "Please" from POP.

If I was in a wagering mood, I'd say FAS made him some custom software.
